Abdominal paracentesis is typically done as an outpatient procedure, unless the complications from the fluid build up warrant hospitalization. The patient is usually awake during the procedure as anesthesia is not typically necessary.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Abdominal paracentesis is a procedure to remove abnormal fluid buildup in your abdomen. Fluid builds up because of liver problems, such as swelling and scarring. Heart failure, kidney disease, a mass, or problems with your pancreas may also cause fluid buildup. HOW TO PREPARE: Before your procedure: 1  Ask your caregiver if you need to stop using aspirin or any other prescribed or over-the-counter medicine before your procedure or surgery. 2  Bring your medicine bottles or a list of your medicines when you see your caregiver. 3  Tell your caregiver if you know or think you might be pregnant.
